Great job Man! Congrats . . . I should tell you . . . those vibrations I spoke of . . . I did not say they were unpleasant! Just funny! I assume you live in KY . . . I'll be there in Oct (I think),...
Yes, I did speak with my doc before I began to ride. He is the one who told me to wait "42 days." Now riding about 300+ miles/week with no trouble. As I mentioned, I changed nothing on the bike, or...
TeddyG You will note I also ride quite a lot. I was back on my road bike at 42 days post surgery, no change in bike equipment. Other than the first week (read experience below!), I have had no...
Hi David Although I do not post here often any longer . . . I was following your posts. For the last while I have been searching for them, with concern in my thoughts . . . (note to administrator: is...
Well written Ironman . . ....
Great job David I am certain everyone appreciates your help. Cheers, Rich...
Hi all Because this forum seems open and forthright . . . I will "spit this out." I've been wanting to write this for a few weeks. I did very well during my two months from dx to surgery, and very...
I would never suggest anyone do as I did. I would only advise one to listen to his physician and very importantly . . . his body. I think it important to recognize we all heal differently, at...
Great to hear that you are out on the bike. I found that I could lift a reasonable amount if I was very, very careful to balance the weight: That is, being certain to have the same weight in both...
Not wanting to make light of a serious subject . . . but: Some of you may recall a discussion we had several months ago about "cheeseburgers . . ." Simply put, my doc suggested less red meat. When...
Congrats David I was waiting to see this today. Cheers, Rich...
Maybe we all need to get together for a ride! Cheers to the group . . . Rich...
Hey Highwheel I guess we will have to get together sometime for a ride! I ride quite a bit (even more than you . . .) I was back on the bike at 42 days . . . that was the shortest time allowable by...
Tom Thanks for the positive update! Cheers, Rich...
Yes David . . . we all will be thinking of you. Put it out of your mind for the time being! Cheers Rich...
Hi I had wonderful care and results with Dr Robert Myers. He has done over 5,000 . . . (yes, you read that correctly). All you need do is phone the urology department and schedule a consult. Dr Myers...
Way to go David!! Wishing you the best. Cheers, Rich...
Hey Tony . . . Congrats . . . But wait a minute . . . why does Kcragman get all the credit? hmmm . . . you better go back and check my "earlier" post! (lol) See what I meant . . . just see what...
Tony . . . Yup . . . just hang it up and see what tomorrow brings . . . Cheers man, Rich...
Alright! I bet at this point you can't wait until Monday . . . Cheers, Rich...
Congrats . . . I am happy for You!...
David I just want to wish you the best tomorrow. For what it is worth . . . I did not want a spinal either . . . the anesthesiologist "talked me into it." Looking back, I am extremely happy she did....
Hi I had / have the same thing . . . almost as if the catheter bruised the inside of the penis. The frequency and severity of the pain seems to be diminishing. Since I too am quite new at this . . ....
David I wish you the best on your journey. Cheers, Rich...
David I must confess . . . after lunch I immediately checked for your post. I am so sorry for your continued trouble. I wondered about the ER guy. My doc gave me a card to carry in my wallet for...
Man I agree with Kcragman . . . I thought the biopsy was worse than the surgery. I wish you the best in this New Year. Cheers...
David For what it is worth . . . my issue, requiring the 2nd catheter was indeed a "flap." In my case the doc was able to see it with the cystoscope, it resolved itself after one more week of...
David I am very sorry for you. I'm sure the doc will get to the bottom (or top) of the problem. I know I'll be checking this post often today to see how this works out. I wish you the very best. Keep...
Good for You! Congrats . . . My first psa test was also at 3 months. Again . . . congrats . . . I hope all goes well....
Best of luck today!...
Funny you should write . . . I was just this morning talking about that very thing. With that said, do you mean "Everyday Cialis," or "Cialis Everyday?" (I take 10mg everyday) I experience severe leg...
David I'm sorry to hear of your trouble. The same thing happened to me . . . only it was just a couple of hours after the first removal. Although I try to forget, I remember the pain quite well. As...
Congratulations! Great news . . . Happy Holidays!...
That's Great! I am happy it went easy and well . . . It's great that you seem to be having little problem. I had mine for 28 days, and can "kind-of" sympathize (28 is not 32). I wish a great holiday...
Dale Though I am relatively new here . . . and do not know any of you . . . I wish you the very best. Cheers, Rich...
I had the same "symptoms." All is fine now. Seems like everything simply takes time....
I was also having bladder spasms (even while taking detrol). Although I did not really believe it when told they would stop when the catheter was removed . . . they did! No more spasms. As with most...
I will ask the doc about the suspected link, and where his info comes from. He promotes a vegetarian, or mostly vegetarian diet and is in very good condition and health. It wasn't a dietary...
Yesterday I got my first "0!" (undetectable) On the other hand . . . my doc told me that there is a suspected link between unsaturated fats and the recurrence of prostate cancer. That means fewer...
Hi I had the same problem, it has now resolved itself. I suppose that means, as with most things: time heals. I remember the doctor telling me, and making a point of, that my penis was very red after...
The half life is 17.5 hours. I'd say "good for you!"...
I am sorry for the peripheral trouble you have been having. Regarding the "briefs," I found proper selection to be critical to maintaining a reasonably active life while wearing the catheter. After...
Hi Indiana You will note from my signature that I ride my bike quite a bit. When I first learned of my elevated psa . . . of course I asked the uro if riding could affect it. I was told "no . . ,"...
Hi I did not mean those kind of dreams. I simply meant very powerful, vivid, strange dreams that would wake me every 2 - 2.5 hours. This is not a side effect commonly associated, or reported with...
Hi: Just wondering if anyone has had "strange, vivid" dreams while taking Cialis? My doc has me on 1/2 a 20mg tab each day for one year. (his standard protocol) I was waking each night two or three...
